Hello and welcoming you on October the 29th, 2024, the 35th birthday of Primoz Roglitz, the 95th anniversary of Black Tuesday, and the first baby shower of the 2025 Tour de France.

If baby shower is more apt than, I don't know, baptism or something else, my name is Daniel Freiber and over the next hour or so I'll be pronouncing if not on the gender of that 2025 Tour de France Parcour

then at least on its nature, its charm, its likelihood of inflicting Buffalo Grill dinners on its roving reporters

and more besides in the most adjacent co-pilot's birth today is the only man

on earth whose retirement from the tour was for a while at least a bigger will he won't he

cliffhanger than mark cavendish's currently is he is francois tormaseau francois what do you make of the

fact that mark cavendish just won't spit it out

I saw again today in Paris he was asked on the stage whether he will indeed make a comeback and he just can't bring himself to put us out of our misery yeah he said we

anyway hello francois hello guys yeah you say we'll see and you look like to put us out of our misery. Yeah, he said, we... Anyway, hello, Frantzal.

Hello, guys.

Yeah, he said, we'll see.

And he looked like, you know, he had this little...

He made a face, like, you know,

it's kind of childish, bratty face, like, you know,

just wait and see.

We're going to Chateau so that that might be a clue.

He's also going for the fourth stage victory in Chateau.

While looking at the tour, the parkour, he would probably give up after Chateau.

But no, yeah, as you say, I mean, you know, you know,

Mark Cavendish better than I do, but I don't know. I don't know. Will he do the tour?

Yes, I think he will not. I'm pretty certain that he will not do the tour. I'm actually more

uncertain whether you'll do the tour.
